In plants, a variety of stimuli trigger long-range calcium signals that travel rapidly along the
vasculature to distal tissues via poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we use quantitative …

Lipid membrane destruction by microbial pore‐forming toxins (PFTs) is a ubiquitous
mechanism of damage to animal cells, but is less prominent in plants. Nep1‐like proteins …

Filamentous plant pathogens threaten global food security and ecosystem resilience. In
recent decades, significant strides have been made in deciphering the molecular basis of …

The efficient cytosolic delivery of the CRISPR-Cas9 machinery remains a challenge for
genome editing. Herein, we performed ligand screening and identified a guanidinobenzol …

Phytophthora species are notorious plant pathogens, with some causing devastating tree
diseases that threaten the survival of their host species. One such example is Phytophthora …

A fungal effector that is toxic to plant cells was identified in Verticillium dahliae. The effector
contains a non-canonical Common in several Fungal Extracellular Membrane proteins …

Plasma membrane represents a critical battleground between plants and attacking
microbes. Necrosis‐and‐ethylene‐inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)‐like proteins (NLPs), cytolytic …

The oomycete Pythium myriotylum is a necrotrophic pathogen that infects many crop species
worldwide, including ginger, soybean, tomato, and tobacco. Here, we identified a P …

Sphingolipids (lipids with a sphingoid base backbone) are important components of
eukaryotic membrane systems and key signaling molecules that are essential for controlling …

Classical molecular dynamics (MD) plays a central role in understanding structural and
dynamical phenomena across all disciplines of physical chemistry. These models can be …
